(3)  The owner or occupier of a national monument may, within 14 days of service on him of a preservation notice or within such longer period as the Minister may allow, appeal to the Minister against the requirements of the preservation notice and the Minister may —
(a)
dismiss the appeal;
(b)

(c)
allow the appeal in whole or in part and subject to such conditions as he considers fit,

(7)  Subject to any direction of the Minister under subsection (6), any person who fails to comply with the requirements of a preservation notice shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $20,000 and, in the case of a continuing offence, to a further fine not exceeding $200 for every day or part thereof during which the offence continues after conviction.
